40 I AMs

We are in the middle of a series at my church called "Stuck." My pastor was talking about how sometimes we allow negative influences to impact our perspectives of what we believe about ourselves, and ultimately what we believe about God. He went on to suggest reading the "40 I Am's" that are written throughout Scripture and confess (acknowledge, declare one's belief or faith in) them. Declaring the "40 I AMs" on a daily will help you to see yourself the way God sees you. When you begin to see yourself from God’s perspective, the opinions of others don’t alter the reality who you are in Him.

You are who God says you are all because of Jesus Christ.
